The thing is that, on Windows, having headers above version 1.1 is useless because Microsoft never bothered to update the OpenGL library for windows. It''s still possible to use the new features, you just have to get the fuction pointers through WGL. ATI''s OpenGL devkit (available free from their website) takes care of that part for you, as does benjamin bunny''s GLEE library.
You need the three files available here in order to use the OpenGL extensions (though I''m not sure if those are the most recent). You DO NOT need the libraries, as your video drivers will include them (as they''re different for each video card). And yes, GLEE is very useful for using extensions.
